Miami’s premier retailer of triathlon gear, apparel and motivation is proud to sponsor a very unique triathlon right in its own backyard. Trijungle will sponsor the first Miami Speed Tri and Expo, set to take place August 27 and 28, 2011, at Homestead Miami Speedway, the first track ever to host a premier Sprint & Olympic distance triathlon race.

This venue is usually reserved for NASCAR and Grand Am. However, this will be the first time that what’s speeding around the track doesn’t have a transmission to rely on — just pure human energy. Competitors will run and bike on the Speedway track and swim in a certified-clean and clear manmade lake.

Trijungle’s owner, Magui Martinez-Peña, said, “We’re very excited to be involved with a local event, supporting the local triathlon community and our customers.” Magui added, “Since Trijungle recently became a USAT Certified Multisport retailer, we are especially proud that this sensational USAT-sanctioned event has come to Miami.

“And borrowing the course from its usual stock cars adds another level of fun and excitement to the race,” she added enthusiastically.

As a sponsor, Trijungle’s group of triathletes and triathlon coaches will create a series of pre-race clinics all oriented to help the athletes perform their best. Miami Speed Expo will attract more than 3,000 people between athletes and sport enthusiasts. Exhibitors, kids attractions, food and refreshments will  be available throughout the day. For more information about the race and expo or to register, log on to www.miamispeedtri.com.

On both days, you can visit Magui — who is a USA Triathlon Certified Coach, PowerBar Elite Team athlete and has a USAT Track & Field Level I Coaching Certification — and her team. But you can also visit her at Trijungle, where trisuits, wetsuits, goggles, tri pants, helmets and more are always available. The store is open Monday through Friday from 10–7 pm and Saturday from 12–5 pm at 2829 Bird Avenue, on the second floor of the Grove Center Mall. For more information, call 305-460-9980 or toll-free 877-874-5864. And Trijungle’s online store and blog are always open at www.trijungle.com
